I had a call from *** *** 6274, claiming to be from Apple Support, that security on my Apple devices had been compromised with a suspicious log-in. It was a pre-recorded message. Is this a scam, or something to be taken seriously?
There does not seem to be a "topic" that matches my question, but this might be close.

Apple does not make such calls.
All such calls are scams from criminals attempting to steal your personal and financial information. The callers will often use number spoofing to pretend they are calling from a legitimate business. The correct course of action is to ignore the calls or hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
That is a fraudulent call. Apple does not make such calls. You should ignore it.
Thank you; I did hang up and am reassured that I did the right thing!
You are quite welcome.
Stay alert, as the scammers are forever trying to obtain our personal and financial information.
